Headlines are dominated so far this week by news of the swine flu, which has pork futures sinking. Pork stocks, however, are rallying after taking a beating yesterday, including Smithfield Foods (SFD), up 2.9% at $9.30 at midday on Tuesday after a 12% dip on Monday, and Tyson Foods *(TSN), up 1% to $10.06 after plunging 9% yesterday.
Flu-vaccine stocks, including Novavax (NVAX) and BioCryst (BCRX), are up for the second day in a row. Lately, Novavax was trading up 14.1% at $2.91 at midday on Tuesday, and BioCryst was up 4.6% to $4.06.
With everyone trying to game the swine flu (and avoid the virus), what other stocks might benefit?
With this in mind, we thought we'd take a look today's top stories and see what Jim Cramer's had to say lately about stocks associated with them.

Q.
fcx target?
11.11.09 | 09:30 AM Asked by
BearcatJS
A. if you pull up a chart of fcx and
overlay the $SPX on it you'll see a
direct correlation since march. they're
talking about resuming a dividend. that
should help. but for now i'd say as goes
the s n p, so goes fcx. no one can tell
you a target price with any certainty
